RSNA 20025 In order to provide better patient care and provide an efficient operational workflow, the Cleveland Clinic Foundation has implemented the "Scheduled Workflow" and "Patient Information Reconciliation" integration profiles. These transactions are supported and are in production or in pilot mode at the Cleveland Clinic.

RSNA 20027 Prior to IHE Before the IHE implementations, the process was very paper-based and there was a great amount of data entry required. Much of the same information was being entered into different systems – the HIS, the RIS, the PACS and the Modality. This slowed down the operational workflow.Before the IHE implementations, the process was very paper-based and there was a great amount of data entry required. Much of the same information was being entered into different systems – the HIS, the RIS, the PACS and the Modality. This slowed down the operational workflow. By using the IHE Technical Framework as a guideline, much of the mapping exercises were shortened as it provided a common understanding and language between all the different information system, imaging system, and modality vendors.

RSNA 200217 Test Implementation Issue The challenge of managing each vendor's update to their software was overcome by creating a fully-functional test environment. This approach enables Cleveland Clinic to effectively simulate their production environment. Production

RSNA 200218 Customer/Vendor Collaboration Step 1. Following a controlled change management process, each vendor installs their latest update into the test environment. Step 2. Extensive testing occurs until all vendors and Cleveland Clinic approve the update; then it is scheduled to be placed into production.
